In this paper, an intelligent home network middleware interconnection adapter between devices was designed. Home network middleware interconnection adaptor is present in UPnP, LonWorks, LnCP, HAVi, etc. Various types of middleware and for use of a number of middleware is required to modify an existing system. But this study designed by middleware interconnection adaptor a number of existing middleware systems without modification was designed to allow interlocking. The Performance evaluation of designed interconnection middleware adaptor produced by various companies was used devices, experimental device was implemented. And mobile application was developed by using developed interconnection middleware adaptor. Also the performance was evaluated in a mobile application.

Heterogeneous components have different component models, which prevents such components from sharing the functionalities of other components based on the different models. As one of methods for linking heterogeneous components, this paper suggests a proxy component to construct a bridge between heterogeneous components of OPRoS (Open Platform for Robotic Service) and RTM (Robot Technology Middleware). The proxy component consists of two types of components called Adaptor and Interceptor, via which the heterogeneous components can exchange data and services easily. The proposed method enables adaptor and interceptor components to directly invoke the services of the latter and the former, respectively, in order to exchange data and services on a real-time basis. The proxy component can be implemented for OPRoS and RT (Robot Technology) component models to connect with RT and OPRoS ones, respectively. It is shown through a simple experiment that the proposed method works well for real-time control.

유비쿼터스 환경에서의 일반 사용자를 위한 흠 네트워크의 실현은 다양한 가전 제품군의 홈 네트워크 미들웨어들이 표준화되고 상용 장비에도 장착이 되어 실용화된다. 흠 네트워크 환경에서 UpnP (Universal Plug and P1ay) HAVI (Home audio/video interoperability) HNCP(Home Network Control Protocol)등과 같은 개별 단체 표준 미들웨어들을 탑재하고 있는 이종 정보가전기기들 간의 상호연동성을 제공하고，홈 네트워크 미들웨어들을 쉽게 수용하기 위해서 Universal Middleware Bridge 시스템 규격을 ITA 표준안에서 정의하였다. TTA의 Universal Middleware Bridge(UMB)를 표준화로 제안되고 있는 범용 미들웨어 브릿지(UMB)는，SOAP/HTTP 기반의 UMB 메시지 전송/수신 기능을 가지고 있는 Universal Middleware Bridge Core(UMB-C)와 접속 설정 기능과 UMB 메시지를 수신，해석，생성，전송하는 기능을 가지고 있는 Universal Middleware Bridge Adaptor(UMB-A)로 구성 된다. UMB 메시지는 3가지 범주로 분류된 메커니즘이 있다. 첫 번째는 미들혜어의 접속과 해제에 관련된 메커니즘이고，두 번째는 장치 접속/해제에 관한 메커니즘이며，세 번째는 장치에 대한 제어/감시/이벤트에 관한 메커니즘이 있다. 본 논문에서는 미들웨어 운영 메커니즘에 서비스 품질 패키지，경고 메시지에 대한 메커니즘을 추가 설계하였다.

Recently, there is increasing the development requirement of middleware and interface for GPS(Global Positioning System), RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification), sensor networks. GPS supports a useful location based service. RFID supports products logistic and distribution services through the identification. A sensor network collects a context information, such as humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure. This paper implements and verifies a integrated service middleware for supporting efficiently process of sensing data collected from RFID, GPS and sensor network. This middleware have the temporary store function, the redundancy exclusion function, certification function, the classification function and the database storage function. Additionary, this middleware connects with low-level adaptor using socket interface and supports the high-level application services using database connection. Therefore, user can develop easily various many ubiquitous application system using proposed middleware instead of each RFID middleware, GPS middleware and, middleware based on sensor network.

IoT(Internet of Things) has purpose for providing new kind of service though interaction with everything. With development of IoT, computer model which is based on internet is changed to distributed connection model between heterogeneous things. There is a problem that it is impossible to connect between each other different protocols. To solve this problem, we should abstract each of things of data through using adaptor of middleware structure in order to make consistent data unit. In this paper, we propose BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) adaptor, which is interaction with things, based on DDS(Data Distribution Service) that is real-time standard middleware. It is possible to data interaction between BLE Devices as well as two-way data interaction with different protocol devices. Also existing BLE Devices and study have a problem that Data exchange without using a standard data format of a profile defined by the Bluetooth SIG. Using the data formats defined independently by a problem that should not exchange data according to the type and manufacturer of the device BLE. The BLE adapter to solve this problem, the classification and analysis of the 12 stand profile was applied to create a profile based on the standard data format. It is possible to get wide interoperability of not affected on the BLE devices type and manufacturer of the device because it is applied a profile that standard data format.

Things in the IoT(Internet of Things) make various services by exchanging information over networks. The IoT includes many types of WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks) that consists of spatially distributed wireless sensor nodes and operates with the various purposes with useful technologies such as identification, sensing and communication. Typically, Zigbee network composed of low-cost and lowpower devices is mainly used for wide-area monitoring and remote device control systems. The IoT composed of various WSNs cannot interoperate among networks because of heterogeneous communication protocol and different data representation of each network, but can facilitate interconnection and information exchange among networks via the DDS, which is communication middleware standard that aims to enable real-time, high performance and interoperable data exchanges. In this paper, we proposed design of Zigbee Adaptor for two-way interoperation and data exchange between Zigbee network and other networks in the IoT. Zigbee Adaptor communicates with Zigbee network according to the Zigbee protocol and communicates with external networks via DDS. DDS-based Zigbee Adaptor can facilitate interoperation between a Zigbee network and external networks by systematic cooperation among its components.

The IEEE 1394 protocol is a de facto standard in multimedia digital home network. It supports several advanced features such as hot plugging, dynamic network reconfiguration, isochronous transmission and so on. Since the IEEE 1394 was adapted in the field of multimedia service with QoS guarantee, back bone network protocol with reel-time digital instrumentation and control sub networks, and physical layer protocol for real-time middleware such as real-time CORBA, the additional real-time features has been required in device driver implementation because of the necessity of the predictability enhancement. To guarantee the real-time features, the device driver of the IEEE 1394 should support the priority based packet processing and also need a isochronous buffer management mechanism to deal with the periodic isochronous communication. In this paper, we proposed a new software architecture of the IEEE 1394 device driver for supporting the real-time characteristics such as priority based packet processing, priority based scheduling and so on.
